Controversial apartment and townhome project goes before City Council

Tampa’s City Council is scheduled to consider up a proposal Thursday, Sept. 23, on a controversial apartment and townhome development slated to go into the largely, but not exclusively, residential Beach Park neighborhood on the edge of the Westshore District.

The development at 200 S. Hoover St. calls for a 392-unit, six story building, 16 two-story townhouses and a seven-story parking garage. The developer, Wisco 7 LLC, is asking the city to change the rezoning from residential office to planned development.
